If the Yankees' Nathan Eovaldi, with a 13-2 record, isn't the most overrated pitcher in baseball he's certainly the most lucky.

Take away Eovaldi's fancy won-loss mark and you'll find a 4.00 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.

Meanwhile the Braves' Julio Teheran has been one of the better pitchers this month holding foes to a .210 batting average in five August starts.

Teheran has pitched well at Turner Field all season with a 7-1 home record and 2.55 ERA. The Yankees have never faced Teheran putting them at more of a disadvantage.

If you discount the Yankees' 15-run outburst this past Friday in which much of the damage was done against now demoted Braves starter Williams Perez, New York is averaging two runs per game during its last five games.

Despite being out of contention, the Braves shouldn't lack for motivation as a big Sunday crowed is expected against the marquee Yankees. Atlanta had its largest attendance of the season on Saturday drawing 49,243.

The Yankees go to arch rival Boston for a more important three-game series following this game. So their focus and intensity may be a little off having already won the first two games of this series.
